The Big Three Part 2- The Loch Ness Monster

The Loch Ness Monster is most likely the most well known cryptid in the entire world. The mystery began in 565 A.D. when Saint Columba saw a boat capsize due to a disturbance in the water. He commented:

"...[He] raised his holy hand, while all the rest, brethren as well as strangers, were stupefied with terror, and, invoking the name of God, formed the saving sign of the cross in the air, and commanded the ferocious monster, saying, 

"Thou shalt go no further, nor touch the man; go back with all speed." Then at the voice of the saint, the monster was terrified, and fled more quickly than if it had been pulled back with ropes..."  

The creature attempted to destroy a man inside the canoe, but after the commandments from the saint were issued it went back under the water. Most people consider this report to be fictional in order to feature the power that Saint Columba had over the so-called "evil" creatures of the Earth. Although this was how the story began it certainly does not end there.
The story became considerably more famous after a circus owner issued a 20,000 pound reward to anyone that could bring him a specimen of the Loch Ness Monster. After this reward was issued, the nickname "nessie" became popular. According to unconfirmed information, the circus owner ordered to place an elephant in the water. If this is true, then many people could have become completely convinced that there is some sort of creature in Loch Ness.
Even if this was true, then how might you explain all of the more modern reports? There is no way to do so unless you remark that every sighting is the offspring of a hoax. Completely reliable individuals have spotted nessie and died swearing that they told the truth about the Loch Ness monster. The mystery persists with complete reliability of eye witnesses.
The surgeon's hoax was a photograph that featured a toy submarine submerging, but it convinced all of Europe that the Loch Ness Monster was a completely normal phenomenon. Now, people use that particular fact to condemn the mystery of nessie. Nevertheless, the average citizen should consider it with less skepticism and I would hope that this fact is being considered by all that read this essay.
